Christmas

July 31, 2011

Yesterday we had family pictures done and I love the one's I have seen for now. I can't wait to see them all. Megan really captured some great moments together. Our once little family is growing by leaps and bounds. Oh, I love this man. This says it all doesn't it?

Another Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Quilt show has come and gone. It is always held at the old Jones home on main street located next to the city park. There were lots of great quilts again this year. They have them hanging from every where.Here are few of my entries. They should all look a bit familiar to you as I have shared them on my blog in earlier years. Do you remember any of them? The first one is Button Up Buttercup.

Second one, a baby Twister.

Third and fourth, Skip Around the Block and my scrappy Twister.

When I got there to pick up my quilts after the show. They informed me that Button Up Buttercup had recieved third place for People's Choice. What a nice surprise.

I'll keep pieceing to enter some in next years. Me and sewing, what a great relationship we have together!

This week we will be at Girl's Camp as the hosts. I won't be by a computer so I'm just letting you know I will still be behind. Ghees, when will I get caught up with everything I want to share with you. But I will leave you with this. My quilt for my trailer, it's been in the works for a few months but I was able to sit down and get the borders on it this week. Ramona quilted it for me on Thursday while I was at work. The binding is done and ready to go on. Amongest a couple other projects that are going with me this is the first one that I will work on so I can snuggle with it at bedtime. Yeah, I can check this one off the quilt list.

Have a happy sewing week. And I hope you get lot's of sewing done, I'm going to try and finish a few things while I'm gone so I have more to share with you.

Wow, I know I've been a little behind lately but I didn't know I had lost 2 whole months and almost a third according to my calendar in the sewing room. I was in there on Tuesday trying to muck out before I sat down to sew and looked up and gave it a glance. You know they say, "How time flies" and these last few months have flown by so fast for us here at the White house. Not many days left on this months calendar page. I won't skip to August quite yet, the cupcake on this page looks to yummy!

here in Utah. We hosted a wedding PART-HE for Jacob and Angie on the 16th. Nothing real fancy and good old fashion BBQ. We served up hamburgers and hot dogs with all thetrimmings including a variety of salads, fresh fruit and for dessert. A yummy donut bar. I think everyone had a good time and loved the food but especially the donuts!

The happy, happy couple.

And our grill master, Stuart himself.

The sign in table with their wedding picture.

Table decorations were the lanterns we used in Idaho and we randomly put fresh flower arrangements and Angie's bridal picture on some of the tables.

Random pictures of some of the guests. My Uncle Blair and wife Jean. This is my dad's brother.

Having a funny moment I guess.

The Davis' and the Shaffers.Kaitlyn and McKinley swiping a treat.Cameron, Jamie and family.The Ainge family. Jared was one of Jacobs bestmen so he got to celebrate with us twice. Isn't he a lucky guy. Yup for sure he is cause he's going to be a daddy in October!

The proud empty nesters.

John and Kira.

And grandma with these two sillies.

Gifts and cards oh my, how fun

What a great way to spend a Saturday night. The weather was beautiful, the food delish and the company just pleasant and the bride and groom are smiling!

It doesn't look like I'm going to get much posted on the wedding celebration in Idaho. But I do have the pictures loaded for your enjoyment. Watch out there's picture overload. I guess I'm just to tired because it took me forever to load them all!

About Me

My hands are always busy, this has led to many crafty endevers, interior design, paper crafting, or sewing, but my favorite obsession is quilting and making bags. You can just call me an "Old Bag"! My husband, Stuart and I are empty nesters who like to travel in our 5th wheel trailer and spoil our three kids, two son-in-laws, one daughter-in-law and five darling grandkids. (if there's any money leftover from buying fabric!)
I work at Corn Wagon Quilts in Springville, Utah. The perfect job for me. I teach quilt and bag classes for the Corn Wagon and Dave's Bernina in Provo and St. George, Utah. It's a good thing we don't have to live off what money I make, 'cause you know it has to buy fabric! Glad you stopped by, pull up a chair, a diet coke, chocolate and lets get accquainted.

"The desire tocreate is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish tocreate something that did not exist before .... creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty ..."

*Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The President and First Lady

This is my husband Stuart. This is who I share my nest with. He likes the outdoors, hunting, guns, and ME! He is a wonderful cook (am I lucky or what?) He is a fun, kind and loving father and grandpa. I'm so blessed to have in my life.
